∙ 13y agoThe inscription on the edge of British Crown coins from 1893 to 1900 indicate the Regnal date (in Roman numerals) of the Monarch, in this case, Queen Victoria.
There were two Crowns issued in each year during this period, because Queen Victoria was not crowned on the 1st of January. For an 1895 Crown, the Regnal year LVIII indicates the first part of 1895 and the Regnal year LIX indicates the second part of 1895.
The 58th and 59th Regnal years of Queen Victoria.

Why does your 1887 silver crown have a hole either edge?
The 1887 British Crown (Five Shillings), or any other British Crown, should not have any holes in them at all. You can only assume that somebody has drilled the holes deliberately as a means of mounting the coin as an ornament or a piece of jewellery, etc. Modified coins have no collector value.
Is there a value for a 1953 Coronation Crown with the edge stamping upside down?
You do not specify the country. There is very little possibility that the edge inscription could be "upside down" with respect to the obverse and reverse, but nothing is impossible. There is no documented occurrence of this error. Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin. Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated. A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.
